Proto???????????

[CKY_Alliance]

An aftermarket board adds extra setting and such like others said some have different modes of ramping but also you can cap the board for tournaments and such,but you can prolly put a cap on the stock board also.

No real cons as far as I know. Buy it now!

[Torbo]

you do have to be very careful with the wires, especially the eyes. If you buy a new one, it should come with a board with semi and psp modes.

i am all agesnt ramping i hate it i think it cheap so me spending extra money on ramping borad...

[yingyang]

if you want the speed just pick up a 20 bps hyperframe on ebay or somewhere.

[Gumbe]

i have a hyper frame i am selling it ..i want a proto

[Gumbe]

hmmm or a free style pro...i want your guys opion.....please list pros and con explain why

[Enemy]

so far i like the proto it will be my next gun!

it has a better spool valve system than a shocker, uses the dm4 bolt with the dm5 frame. its smaller and lighter than even the dm5 uses the same eyes. the only thing you are missing compared to a dm is no front on/off, not as clean eye covers, and instead of replacing a chip on the board for new programing you have to replace the whole board.

you shouldnt regret it!

The "problem" with the wiring is this....
The factory solder points are easy to pull loose. Most people buy this marker and instantly take off the frame to adjust or replace the trigger. The wire pulls off the solenoid and instantly its got "crappy wiring".

Any local proshop or halfway experianced electrician that you might know can fix the solder points in moments and if your are really feeling squirrely they can preplace the whole harness in a few minutes.

Other that that one VERY MINOR issue, they totally rock. They are the culmination of the development of one of the better marker designs ever. The "bolt" is better in that it no longer has high hat oring problems, its more efficent, is way lighter, looks better, doesn't have a membrane pad to cause problems and costs way less than the DM5 which is "supposedly" a higher line marker.

With the availability of plenty of software "upgrades" it is definately one of the best markers available today and a good price to boot.

They took thjat stupid on/off thing off the front, that thing looks dumb on DMx's/

[Glickman]

wait i dont understand this the proto i will never be able to out shoot..so what the point of a new borad?

YES!!! OMG YES


SOMEONE HAS SEEN THE LIGHT!!!!

[Athius]

I had one is a great marker but i never liked the gripframe to thin and too wide.

The stock barrel is great and maintence is pretty easy.

I play with it in mud and rain im a front man and it never let me down.

[Gumbe]

YES!!! OMG YES


SOMEONE HAS SEEN THE LIGHT!!!!

well i dont see the point in wasting my money on that if i cant out shot it

i am all agesnt ramping i hate it i think it cheap so me spending extra money on ramping borad...

Sounds like someone has been ramped or worse ramed and bunkerd at the same time.....
or perhaps just a woodball player. In tourneys w/o ramping you'll never keep a lane covered.

When I play 5 mans on our fields against the non ramping guns it is so easy to move up the field. You can make it the 50 from the back off the break with a good run-dive-crawl. I play alot more conservative when I am matched with firepower.

[stop whining buy a mag]

As said before get a used DM4. The Proto's are nice and all but the DM4 has a better feel to it (IMO) and you can easily get chips for it. I just got a DM4 off Ebay for $740 with a CP Trigger. For another $20 or $30 I could have gotten one with a nice chip.

For now I would stick with your Mag. This may be harsh, but you don't seem educated enough to get a high end gun. At least I'll give you props for coming here and trying to do your homework before buying.
